About Us

Heart Reach was formed in 1996 to come alongside women and adolescents facing an unplanned pregnancy.  Our aim was to provide support and comprehensive information on all possible options / alternatives so that those who approach is in desperation are able to make rational and informed decisions. Since then we have branched out into other areas trying primarily to focus on a preventative course of action. As such our mission is currently as follows :

“To educate the youth of South Africa on sexual choices with a view to re-establish their values thereby empowering them to fulfill their potential and make healthy positive life choices”.

We are a non-profit organization working mainly through volunteers.

We are also a Christian based organization but do not use the vehicle of Heart Reach to promote or further Christianity, it is simply the basis of why we feel called to make a difference in this way.

Education Programme

With the increasing occurrence of teen pregnancies, Heart Reach has developed interactive abstinence-based sex education for pupils.  The presentation clearly illustrates the consequences of casual sexual behaviour : Emotional and physical risks, unplanned pregnancies; the spread of STD’s and HIV/Aids.

Parent Awareness Programme

Having discussed sexual behaviour with over 200 000 teens we are able to share what we have learnt with parents with regard to the issues their children are facing. Our objective is to build relationships and encourage open communication, to help parents set healthy boundaries for their children and to empower them as a family should they be faced with an unplanned pregnancy.

Abortion

Pre and Post abortion counselling is offered to clients facing an unwanted pregnancy. 

If  you have had an abortion and are struggling to come to terms with the brokenness it has brought into your life we would be glad to sit with you and help you through this traumatic time.
